TO THE ILLVSTRIOVS and Right Honourable Lords Spirituall and Temporall the renowned Peeres Prelates and Counsellors to the High and famous Court of Parliament SAMVEL GAREY an vnworthy Minister of IESVS CHRIST with his most deuoted obseruance humbly offereth this short Treatise in a perpetuall remembrance of all dutifull thankfulnesse to Almighty God for your Graces and Honours happy deliuerance from the intended Gun-powder Treason Nouember the fifth Anno Domini 1605. Most Reuerend Honorable and right Noble Lords MAy it please your Graces and Honors to behold the wofull picture and lamentable protect of your earthly Downefall intended the contemplation and cogitation whereof can neuer cause you to bury it in obliuion wherein the professed enemies to God King and Country endeauoured and attempted with one blow and blast to make your Mittimus and send you all to another world But Gods most admirable mercy disappointed their most abhominable mischiefe and doth moue your Graces and Honors to say thankfully with the Psalmist Thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries and hast put them to confusion that hate vs Therefore will we praise God continually and will confesse thy name for euer In which prodigious practise and mercilesse Massacre your Graces and Honors may behold your selues how you should haue Purgatory-Vulcans could bring one sparke to enkindle it still the Regall Sunne and Moone shines with a bright and beautifull lustre in the Royall firmament who by these foule monsters and fiery Meteors should haue beene finally eclipsed Charles-wayne is still in our Horizon and God grant it may be said of our King Iames as Iacob said of his Iuda Sceptrum non auferetur à Iuda Gen. 49. 10. Your Graces and Honors the fixed starres of Church and State still keepe your station and retaine your powerfull influences who by these Miscreants should haue bene sent from the stately Parliament to the starry firmament and though not then your mortall limbes yet your immortall soules should haue flowen higher But loe * The Lord was with you while you were with him and preserued you in safely as reserued instruments for his further seruice and glory to the vnspeakeable comfort of his Church and happy welfare of great Britanny Which incomparable worke of Gods infinite mercy in this most gracious and generall deliuerance as it can neuer beforgotten so it cannot be too ofr reuined which poore oblation a commemoration of your Graces and Honours preseruation as it is very seasonable for the time Nouember the 5. against which day it was and is prepared as a yearely present and poore Tribute of true thankefulnesse so I heartily wish it weresatable to merit your most honourable acceptance Yet Cum desint vires tamen est laudanda voluntas Your renowned worthinesse will I hope accept my willingnesse and protect this Treatise the Transcendent of Treason vnder the fauourable countenance of your most honourable patronages so shall it be safe from all backbiting vermine and vipers of our Church and Country And as some say The Sea-Vrchin armes himselfe with some stones against a tempest so I against all the windy tempests of ill tongued Iesuites and railing Popelings who take things with the left hand which are offered with the right as Ariston once said will I suppose contemne and condemne this worke wherein their treasonable practises and precepts are in part discouered yet being armed
